Arnold Schwarzenegger Fires Back At Donald Trump Over TV Ratings

Trending News: The Arnold V. Donald Feud Is The Best Thing Of Trump's Presidency

Long Story Short

Donald Trump asked the public to pray for Arnold Schwarzenegger, as he helped cause The Apprentice to have poor ratings after the now-president left. Arnold quickly responded with a prayer of his own.

Long Story

Forget Floyd Mayweather v. Conor McGregor. The blockbuster fight the people want to see is Arnold v. Donald — no holds barred!

The feud between the two stars kicked off on Thursday morning at the National Prayer Breakfast, where Trump (I'd say inappropriately, but what else are we to expect at this point), asked the public to pray for Arnold.

"They hired a big movie star, Arnold Schwarzenegger to take my place, and we know how that turned out," Trump said to kick off the event, according to ABC News. "The ratings went right down the tubes. It's been a total disaster. And Mark [Burnett] will never, ever bet against Trump again, and I want to just pray for Arnold, if we can, for those ratings."

Well now the ex-Governator has responded, and lord help the president.

A spokesperson for Arnold had this message for Trump: “Arnold is praying that President Trump can start improving his own approval ratings, which were the worst in history for an incoming president, by taking his job seriously and working inclusively.”

But Schwarzenegger wouldn't stop there. In a video, Arnold said: “Hey Donald, I have a great idea. Why don’t we switch jobs: You take over TV, because you’re such an expert in ratings, and I take over your job. Then people can finally sleep comfortably again.”

This isn't the first time since Trump was elected that he tried to trash Arnold (it's not like he has other things to worry about). Trump fired off a series of tweets that blamed Arnold for getting "'swamped' (or destroyed) by comparison to the ratings machine DJT," reported CNN.

Here's how Arnold responded at the time:

I wish you the best of luck and I hope you'll work for ALL of the American people as aggressively as you worked for your ratings.
